Education is fundamental to achieve national development. A better education system develops good human resources. These human resources bring prosperity and equity and transform society by utilising their potential. Better education relies on the education policies framed by its government and bringing changes in them from time to time. India has so far three education policies after independence. The first national education policy in India came in 1968 and the second in 1986; the national education policy of 1986 was revised in 1992. The third national education policy came in the recent year of 2020. In this article, a comparison of these three national education policies has been made by the researchers by analysing the available secondary data. This study is intended to investigate the Indian education system, earlier National Education policies, its objectives, implementation, areas of failures and necessity for a new national policy on education in India and the challenges foreseen to new national educational policy. This paper is an attempt by the researcher to study different policies and their comparison related to the to school education system in post-independence period.
